Here’s your chance to follow in the footsteps of fictional globetrotting explorer Phileas Fogg – except with more gin.

A London-based bar chain has launched a search for a “courageous, lionhearted, valiant” person to take on a Jules Verne-style voyage around the world and drink plenty of the fashionable spirit along the way. You’ll even get paid to do it and you can take a friend who could be your Passepartout-esque valet should you wish.

The Inception Group, which owns the bars Mr Fogg's, has teamed up with the gin company Bombay Sapphire to recruit a global ambassador.

The successful candidate and their travelling companion will follow in the adventurous footsteps of Phileas J. Fogg. On a two-month trip inspired by Jules Verne’s Around The World In Eighty Days, the "explorers" will travel across the globe from Mumbai to Hong Kong, Paris to New York, Japan to San Francisco.

They will be responsible for collecting botanicals and necessary items along the way, and then the adventurers are required to return to London within 80 days, and be ready to create their very own ‘Around the World Cocktail’ at Mr Fogg’s Society of Exploration.

However, it seems an appreciation for the attires and exquisite verbiage of the Victorian era is also crucial with applicants required to be “willing to clothe oneself in Victorian finery”. A knowledge of Jules Verne’s classic novel also appears to be a desirable trait.

Those interested also need to be prominent on social media, a good writer, and have a skill for taking well-lit photographs. They must also be at least 21 years old.
